Wikipedia:Updating information
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wikipedia contains date-sensitive information which may require revision on a known future date. Such date-sensitive statements are marked with an indicator that appears on a specified date displaying [update needed] and linking to this page. For example, United States presidential election, 2008 will need to be updated on November 4, 2008 (election), December 15, 2008 (electoral college), January 6, 2009 (tallying), and January 20, 2009 (inauguration), although this specific article is unlikely to need such reminders.
If [update needed] appears on a page, please edit the page to update the information and, as appropriate, delete the "update after" indicator or reset it to the next date the information needs to be updated. Please see Template:Update after, which has details on exactly when it may or may not be used, and what the required and optional parameters are. Other articles in need of updating can be found using the links listed below.
